Berlin Wibes: A Global Label and Sound Network

Berlin Wibes is at the forefront of future music and sound branding, operating agile teams with recording studios across four continents: Berlin, London, Dakar, Cape Town, Chicago, and Seoul.

Led by Berlin-based composer and producer Christian Ogrinz, also known as Wasserstoff, we excel in team building, successfully managing freelance projects and commissions that drive creativity and innovation.

Recently, Berlin Wibes produced a groundbreaking German rap album in collaboration with female MCs and emerging beat designers, spotlighting the vibrant music scene of Berlin through global collaboration. This initiative aims to establish new infrastructure in the music industry and is funded by Initiative Musik and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

Zukunftsmusik: A Legacy of Innovation

Zukunftsmusik (future music), the precursor to Berlin Wibes, set the stage as a showcase project for Berlin’s dynamic music scene at Hamburg’s Reeperbahn Festival. Supported by the Bundesverband Pop, it brought together young, forward-thinking musicians who produced their own EP alongside seasoned mentors. As core themes, sustainability and diversity were actively explored and debated in panels held in Hamburg and Berlin, igniting dialogues that now fuel Berlin Wibes.

Leaders of the New World

The first single from our recent project will be released on November 1st.

Berlin Wibes: Sound is Policy

Operating seamlessly in small, medium, and large teams is a hallmark of Berlin Wibes, uniting diverse interests, identifying relevant sounds and emerging topics, and fostering politically inspired networking. For us, sound is policy – a powerful medium that shapes culture and drives change.
